This first lecture examines the appearance of the messianic idea in Tanach, charting its metamorphosis towards a universal application.
David explores the development of the Jewish messianic picture throughout the books of the Hebrew Bible, including in:
- The Book of Samuel and its discussion of the ultimate messianic figure, King David
- The Book of Kings and its depiction of one of the most exceptional Jewish monarchs, King Hezekiah
- The Book of Isaiah, a contemporary of Hezekiah, whose visions of messianic prophecy are foundational to Jewish eschatology
- The Book of Jeremiah on messianic and Davidic lineage
- The Book of Ezekiel on David the shepherd and prince
- The Book of Daniel's eschatological visions for the future
- The Book of Zechariah, who made clear pronouncements on the coming of a messiah
- The Book of Haggai, with its messianic vision of the role ascribed to the Davidic descendent, Zerubavel, charged with rebuilding Jerusalem and the Second Temple.
He also considers the messianic role ascribed to Cyrus, king of the Babylonian Empire, in Tanach and later in Jewish History.
Additionally, the lecture examines discussions by modern scholars of the implications when biblical ideas of messianism become reimaged as contemporary visions for Zionism.
This talk is the first of a four-part series, The Messianic Idea in Jewish History, presented at Caulfield Shule in 2021as part of its scholar-in-residence program. Other episodes from the series can be found here:

Hi Marjorie, it’s been a while since I’ve seen anything published on this channel. I hope it’s because of David’s work on the translation and not because anything bad happened to him. Thank you very much for all the work you’ve been doing in organising his materials so systematically, and for making them accessible to all of us. I truly believe he is a genius and in my view no other scholar has explained Jewish history in such a comprehensive and enjoyable manner,accessible even to simple people like myself. I’ve been returning to his lectures year after year for over a decade and I’m really grateful for everything.❤

I once heard a lecture by you that laid out the stages of the Messianic era. Is it in this series or somewhere else?

I mn totally fascinated and deeply impressed by your lectures and l wonder if you are a prophet in your own right. I m very moved by the energy of yuor voice. It is unusually powerful for just a teacher or a lecturer, there is a sense that you are talking about the ultimate truth of our existence and the truth of the essential god concept...

BRAVO !

Thank you

That is exactly what the Vedas say, the oldest scripture in the world. All transformation takes place inside, within each individual as they work to evolve their awareness. The work involves purifying oneself from ignorance. This is the practice of meditation and self development.
